We're excited to announce that the Technology Leadership Academy is returning in 2012. The Academy gets at the very heart of what NTEN does. We believe that with improved tech leadership, nonprofits like yours will provide more and better programs, inspire more communities, and involve more volunteers to share their time.

I have worked at NTEN for nearly nine years now; Ed Batista hired me back in January of 2003 to help create and run new programs for a nascent NTEN. but the passion of the community was unbridled and big. But the real reason for our success is you - the community. As with everything we do, this is a community campaign.

I think that the best thing that happened in 2012 was that some of the 2010-2011 "bleedng edge" conceptual technologies stood up and proved they weren't fads. When NTEN asked me to write a "best tech of 2012" post, I struggled a bit. Peter Campbell. Nonprofit Technologist. Techcafeteria.

Every year, the NTEN community comes together to raise enough money to send staff from small nonprofits to the NTC. We firmly believe it's the diversity of our community that makes us strong. The silliness is, of course, a means to an end: creating a community devoted to transforming technology into social change.

In the NTEN community, the concept of "IT Staff" has been more fluid and inclusive, but we also know that many nonprofit professionals who have information technology responsibilities are either not given formal "information technology" titles, or don''t self-identify as "IT Staff" -- and often both cases are true for an individual.
